ONE-PIECE COAT.

Application filed May 1, 1922. Serial No. 557,624.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARIO V. DURsI, a citizen of Italy, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved One- Piece Coat, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to garments and particularly to an improved construction which will use a minimum amount of material and which may be easily laid out so as to secure the desired result.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved arrangement of cutting garments whereby the garment may be produced principally of one piece.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved coat formed principally of one piece and arranged with the parts so positioned in the blank that when stitched together a correctly formed coat will be produced.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a front view of a figure with a coat embodying the invention arranged thereon.

Figure 2 is a rear view of the figure and coat shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a blank of the coat shown in Figure 1. s

Figure 4 is a blank of the collar lining shown in Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a blank of the collar to be attached to the blank shown in Figure 3.

When cutting out the blank as shown in Figure 3, the pattern is folded on a central line and laid on a folded strip of cloth and the parts out out so that the cut-out portion when unfolded will appear as shown in Figure 3, the same being formed of one piece and presenting the body of the coat including the sleeves.

The blank as shown in Figure 3, is formed with a central body 1 having at one end laterally extending projections 2 and 3 having upwardly and inwardly inclined edges adapted to be bent along the lines 4 and 5 for forming the turned in edges of the skirt of the coat. Above the skirt sections 2 and 3 are arm sections 12 and 13 separated from the skirt sections by notches approximately in the form of isosceles triangles. The straight sides 6 and 7 of the notches define rately.

the top edges of the skirt sections, the inclined sides 10 and 11, the lower edges of the arm sections and the bases form vertical edges 8 and 9. The ends 14 ofthese arms are at right angles to the edges 10 and 11 while the upper edges 15 are at a slightly greater angle than right angle to the ends 14:. The edges or lines 15 join a short line or edge 16 on each sleeve which line joins the arc-shaped line 17 extending to the point 18. From point 18, line or edge 19 extends on a different are to the line 17, said line 19 extending to the point 20 where it joins a straight line 21 of the same length as the respective lines 8 and 9. The respective sections 22 and 23 are secured to the body ing the lines 8 and 9 whereby the sections 22 and 23 form the two front sections of the coat.

When one of the edges 21 and the edge 8 are secured together, the edges 17 and 19 are also secured together as well as the edges 10 and 15 whereby sleeve 12 and associated parts are formed. The edges 6 and 24 are then stitched together by any suitable seam, which seam is indicated as 25 in Figure 1. Before this seam is formed, the section 22 is folded on line 26 and then on lines 27 and 28 whereby the lapel 29 is formed, said lapel merging into the portion 30 which forms the finishing edge beneath the sec tion 22. e

The opposite side of the garment is formed as described except the section 22 and associated parts. The collar and cufis as well as the pockets and belt must be made sepa- These are made preferably in the usual manner. collar 31 properly notched and formed to lit the blank shown in Figure 3 while in 'Figure 4: is a collar lining 34: which when in use, isarranged in back of collar 31 as is customary in overcoats or ordinary sack coats. I

By providing the curved lines or edges 17 and 19 as well as the line or edges 8 and 21, a proper fit may be secured both in the body of the garment and the sleeves. These lines may be slightly varied to vary the fit as occasion may demand. It will be noted that by reason of the line or edges 17 and 19 there will be a seam 19 from the side of the coat under the sleeve to a point In Figure 5 will be seen a 1 with the respective lines 21 engagnear the top of the shoulder in the front while at the rear there will be no seam as clearly indicated in Figure 2.

What I claim is A blank for a coat comprising a piece of fabric having at its upper end a neck opening and at its lower end a skirt section having upwardly and inwardly inclined edges, sleeve sections above the skirt section and separated therefrom by a notch approximate in the form of an isosceles triangle with the base inward and forming a short vertical edge, the straight side of the notch defining the top edge of the skirt section, and the inclined side, the lower edge of the sleeve section, the upper edge of each sleeve section inclining upwardly and inwardly and and then inclined at an obtuse angle for a short distance, and front sections abovethensleeve sections and separated from each-other at their inner portions by a crescent shaped notch, the lower edge of the front section inclining from said notch upwardly and outwardly a distance equal to the vertical edge formed by the triangular notch, the end edge of the front section inclining upwardly. and inwardly and then extended approximately Vertically for a short distance, thetop edge ofsaid section inclining downwardly and inwardly and then extending approximately vertically to the neck opening.
